Students from the five high schools in the CLT region were eligible to apply through their school. The selection criteria considers various factors including the applicant’s academic record, all-round qualities and achievements.
Ms Dedo says, “there are few better investments we can make in the future success of our community and this region, than to invest in our young people. To our 50 highly deserving students, congratulations and best wishes for your future studies.”
Since 2015 Meyer Cruden Engineering have offered a scholarship and summer internship to go to an eligible first year engineering student. At this year’s awards Lachlann MacTaggart of Cromwell College was presented a Meyer Cruden Engineering Scholarship by Director, Carl Meyer.
The guest speaker at the function was Cam Calkoen. Born with Cerebral Palsy, Cam was told that his biggest challenges would be the way he walks and talks. He dreamed big becoming an athletic gold medalist, highly effective charitable fundraiser, social entrepreneur and now a globally renowned inspirational speaker who ignites a connection and clarity between inspiration, dreams and people.
Ms Dedo says, “Cam delivered a unique message to inspire students to believe things are possible way beyond their thinking, providing stories, tactics and strategies for wellbeing. His speech really resonated with the audience. For our scholars, and indeed the entire community; it has been a tough few years. As we come out the other side, it was not only great have him here, but timely for Cam’s to inspire students to achieve all we can, as they go out to face the world.”
